The belief that Mary's body was resurrected is heresy. Truly it is idol worship. It is not Mary we are to worship. It is Christ! Peter, on the mount of transfiguration, wanted to worship Moses, Elijah, and Christ. God corrected him!Mark chapter 9.

No where in scripture does it say that God predestines an individual to Hell.Multiple scriptures state that God predestines individuals for heaven.Those who go to hell deserve hell.We would all go to hell if we were not predestined to salvation and heaven by God.

ds, concerning fighting, and killing, etc.:Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like...This is all due to sin.

Concerning God's choices:Matt 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

The greek word for tribulation is the word, "thlpsis" it means trouble but it also means pressure. When Christ spoke to his disciples and told them that in this world ye shall have tribulation. He was telling them they would have trouble and pressure. Is there any one of us who doesn't get stressed or feel the pressures of this life living in this sin filled world?

I know several pastors who now carry concealed. In speaking with one of them, he stated that he believe it was his duty to protect his flock.

Years ago a young man came into one of our churches and tried to rob the congregation at gun point. One of the members of the church was a young marine who had just returned from duty. He took the gun away from the would be robber and gave him the right hand of fellowship across his chops. The robber looked up from the floor and said to the congregation, "I though yous people were Christians?"

47 times the scriptures refer to Christ as the Son of God.85 times in the new testament Christ is referred to as the Son of man.If we truly understand John chapter 1, we understand that Christ is God. Also we can see this in examining 1 John 5:7 of the KJV.

For Jesus to be our mediator he has to be both God and man.1 Timothy 2:5. states that Christ is both and that is the only way he could be the perfect and acceptable sacrifice.

1Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

At the present time there are 325.7 million people in the U.S. At this point we cannot provide for the people we have here now. Is it the Christian thing to do to bring more people in and place more of a burden on the tax payer to pay for their children's education, health care, etc.???

Hi Joseph,God created the earth in 6 days and rested on the 7th. Genesis states that the evening and the morning were the first day, thus establishing a 24 hour time period for each day during creation.There are approximately 4000 years between the time of Adam and the time of Christ. If we then add 2000 years to this number since the year is 2018, we arrive at the earth being approximately 6000 years old.Hope this is helpful.

Hi Cluny,We are all, including Mary, saved in the same way. You are correct, it is not by walking down an isle. We are saved by the finished work of Jesus Christ upon the cross. We all, (God's children) have this same salvation in common.

Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Hi John, God loves you more than you love him. He gave his only Son to die on the cross for you.Sometimes the Lord allows bad things to happen to his children to bring them to their knees and grow them as Christians. Don't you believe that God loves Jesus, but he allowed man to crucify his Son because he knew the outcome would be glorious.Are you better than Christ that you should not have to suffer in this life?Lord bless you.

If Mary were sinless she would not have said:Luke 1:46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,Luke 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.Mary needed a saviour just like you and I need a saviour. Also, it is my opinion that until we are free from this fleshly body we will never reach a point of sinlessness.
